Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has urged his side to put on a show against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Villains have lost their last five Premier League outings, with their latest disappointment coming in the form of a 2-0 loss at the hands of Queens Park Rangers on Monday.
And Lambert, who admitted that his side are currently enduring a difficult time, however called on Aston Villa to put in an improved display against Spurs at Villa Park.
But the manager was quick to add that Tottenham are a “top side” and insisted that the weekend’s fixture will be a tough contest.
"The five games we lost, especially against the top teams, were really difficult”, Lambert explained to the club’s official site.
